Hi Scotty,

T0202 is correct for tool 2, try taking the M6 out of the program as lathe dose not need them also remove the second G18 G40 G49 .... line as G49 cancels tool offsets.

Do you have the sub program stored in the subprogram folder inside mach3 folder, if not you should or you need to specify the full path in the m98 call.
